Former Detroit Red Wings goalie Rogie Vachon has been elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame. The call was a long time coming for Vachon, who was one of the game’s dominant goaltenders in the 1970s, and is now 70 years old. He played just two of his 16 seasons in Detroit, and those were late in his career. He found his greatest success with the Canadiens and the Kings. Former players Eric Lindros and Sergei Makarov, and late coach and team executive Pat Quinn will also be enshrined this year.
